industry
- Standardised for illumination and
communications
- Limited modulation bandwidth
White Light emission
March 2014 - OQCG Seminars
LED and VLC
• LED -> PN junction -> Small transit time
• Modulation BW from 3 MHz to 20 MHz
• Enough for communications?
– Equalisation techniques
• Up to 40 Mb/S @ 400 Lux, 2m range [1] using multi-
tone equalisation at transmitter
– Complex modulation
• PAM
• OFDM  OMEGA FP7 project (2011) (Siemens/HHI)
has demonstrated 84 Mbps OFDM/QAM – over 3m
[2]
– MIMO as a diversity technique
• 4x4 50 Mb/s [3]
– Gigabit VLC = EQ + OFDM + MIMO [4]

LED and VLC
• Mobility
– NLOS must work
– Channel reflections
– Smart receiver
• Diffuse receiver: direct and
reflected path
• Multiple receivers: best signal
• LOS vs NLOS: GAIN 20 dB
• Light dimming
Key effects
– The SNR is no longer the advantage
– Signal could be discontinued
Main dimming technologies
– Driving current reduction  lower
PTx and SNR
– Pulse width modulation (PWM) 
Signal disruption

• Short-range  depends on consumer adoption (Li-Fi, wearables, …)
• Medium range  niche market, established, future depends on the
channel impairments solutions and the deployment of OWC networks
under extrem situations
• Long-range / ultra long  Satellite is OWC the solution?
